Abstract
ObjectiveTheoretical analysis that as the final result provides a quantitative estimation of the optical coherence tomography (OCT) systems resolution limit when deconvoltion has been implemented is presented in this paper. MethodThe analysis is based on the standard mathematical apparatus of the linear system theory as the OCT system can be considered as linear. It was shown that the maximum attainable resolution of an OCT system is proportional approximately to the ratio of the resolution of the standard OCT system without deconvolution and the square root of the signal-to-noise ratio at the output of the OCT system. In order to compare the theoretically obtained maximum value for the OCT system resolution and the experimentally obtained one a simple experimental setup has been built. ResultsThe experimentally obtained resolution is approximately an order of magnitude worse than theoretically obtained one but still approximately an order of magnitude better when no deconvolution has been applied.
